    We were only kicked in the balls 8.5 times instead of 9.1 times.

    Or as CNN calls it “taking a breather.”

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Price of fuel affects the price of groceries. Trucks burn ultra-low sulfur diesel, which had really gotten expensive.

      As for this fall, I dunno. Wheat's up. Current price of beans is over $17/bushel. Might be interesting.

        Gas is falling a bit but still too high. Not seeing food drop at all.

            I’ll believe the BLS.

            But people really don’t have a sense of “0% inflation this month = prices aren’t up from last month”. People have anchored in their mind what prices “should” be, and they are still higher than that, ergo “we still have inflation”.

            I think what most people would subjectively interpret as “inflation went down to 0” would be a return to summer 2021 price levels. But in reality that would be significant deflation.

                I perceive prices have gone down in the last month. Gas prices are the most salient in the economy for me and they’ve been dropping.

                Also, I understand inflation in concept and in detail.

                    Actually wheat is down 40% since spring.

                    Corn and canola are down 20%

                        I was looking at the Chicago Mercantile. Are the prices the same in Canada?
